A palliative care nurse specialist is available for consultation Monday to Friday at the Emergency Department to support discharges to appropriate community settings, increase coordination between the emergency department staff and community resources and provide mentorship and education.
The project has led to improvements to patient care as patients are transferred to hospice or palliative care directly from either the emergency department or home with a few days. It has also enhanced the relationship between the Emergency department and palliative care teams, optimized community resources and aligned care with patient preferences.
